Helping a fellow YouTuber (Mira - Peeling Away the Clutter) with her "nightmare kitchen"

- In this video, I am helping Mira with her kitchen. Mira has a UA-cam channel called "Peeling Away the Clutter" which she started in August of this year and she has been working on decluttering her home one small space at a time after years of chronic disorganization. She has made some amazing progress on her own, but there are things she simply cannot do due to back issues and other health challenges, so, since I also live in Utah, she reached out to me a few weeks ago to see if there was any way I would be able to come help her with her kitchen and bathroom. I was thrilled to be part of furthering her decluttering journey and getting her home, which she loves a lot, back into liveable shape. She has been so inspirational to so many since she started her channel a couple of months ago and has an amazing amount of strength to be able to pull herself out of the funk she has been in for so long and to start making some better habits for herself. She has such an infectious laugh and I know you will just love the person she is.

Bonnie, I am so grateful for all the hard work you did! My kitchen is amazing now, not just for me, but for Cupid and Clay. It makes me so happy to see my little man again in this video, and I will never ever forget how Cupid loved to walk on that clean floor sniffing out treats. It's something I never thought I could have. I'm beyond blessed that you helped me. ❤ you!
You really deserve it! You have worked so hard on your own. Doing the work is inspiring to us all. It sends out and attracts incredibly positive vibes
I am so sorry about Cupid. I know how much you loved him and how much it hurts to say goodbye to our furbabies. My 12-year-old cat, Finnigan left us late last winter, and I still am sometimes swept practically off my feet by a huge wave of grief. It is less often now, and I am better able to focus on the joy and fun moments we had with him. Sending you peace and comfort.
I am so happy Bonnie was able to help you and that you reached out to her for help. Your kitchen is just lovely!
I'm so glad that Cupid was able to make it through to see that transformation and to see all the progress that you have made. He was such a good little buddy sitting there by your side while you did your decluttering. I'm sure he's still sitting there in spirit. Thank you for reaching out for help and I'm excited to tackle your bathroom this week!
So sorry for the passing of your sweet dog. It is hard to not have them around. Prayers for you.❤❤❤
Your kitchen looks wonderful! I'm so sorry for the loss of your Cupid~ we recently lost our little 16 year old runt Shih Tsu Finnegan, so I know how both of you feel. Hugs to you. Can't wait to see the new table!!!
Depression is a serious condition. Recycling is important but not as important as mental health and having a clean home. You did exactly the right thing. I hope Mira has a better life from now on.
@@nicoleymacaroniPaper, yes. Plastic, no. It takes thousands of years to break down and greatly harms wildlife and bodies of water.
Shame and isolation can keep people from asking or receiving help. I am so proud of mira for welcoming help! Thank you for helping her 🎉
Absolutely!!😊🙏
I need help 😢
Someone please tell me what product does she use for the stove?
@@ggerdaggZep oven and grill cleaner I think. If you look in the video's description, there's a list of products she uses.
New to your channel, but I really appreciate the non-judgement, the empathy and humor you display. Kudos and applause to Mira for sharing this aspect of her life. ❤❤❤
Thanks, and welcome!😊💕🙏
Floor tip - use a push broom for scubbing, a carpet cleaner for sucking up the urine ( you can rinse the floor this way too ) My Aunts house floors were worse than Miras and it worked like a charm ❤️
For dirty dishes soak them in boiling hot water in the tub. It also works like a charm
Mira may not realize this, but she is a warrior. I say that because she invited us all into her home to witness the extreme transformation that you provided for her. Most of us would feel too embarrassed to have cameras in our home, but she showed us that even though we suffer from depression and that we are just paralyzed from the sadness, that there really is help and hope for us. I think that if Mira can do it, a lot of us can do it too. Thankyou Mira for helping us see that there is a way out of the darkness. I'm so sorry about your beloved Cupid. I lost my sweet little chihuahua last January and I still miss her so much. God Bless you.
You are absolutely right, she is a warrior! I still don't understand how she has the strength to put herself out there like this. That would be so scary to have that kind of judgment and I'm sure she gets it all the time. I'm so proud of all the progress she has made and that she is still going even after the loss of her precious fur baby.❤️😊
So sorry for little Cupid. What an angel you are for helping Mira overcome what must have felt overwhelming. and for free! my goodness. Your kindness is so genuine and I'm positive that you have inspired others to push through difficulty and to not be judgemental. Mira, best of luck to you, I would love to see a one year follow up!
I’m having a lot of the same problems as Mira, health problems, depression, on disability, and physically unable to clean. It’s so hard, I’m glad Mira has you to help her.
Hang in there, a lot of us can relate. I hope things improve for you. Sending you good thoughts.
I hear you. Same here , plus my son came back to live with me a d he is sick also. So double trouble!! 😢😢
This was so awesome!
With Pampered Chef you can clean it with baking soda and hot water
@@arlenehefner7261Thank you for this tip.
I am watching this as I am going through my own decluttering journey, currently in the kitchen.
Thank you for the work that you do.
You got this!🥰
Thank you for helping Mira. The kitchen looks amazing! It's nice to see that she was able to tackle an area that seemed impossible because you were there to support her ❤
Thank you so, so much! That is so generous of you! This will help me to buy more things for homeowners who need it.❤️🙏
That was very thoughtful, too bad YT takes 50% of the money from what I heard, cash app or other ways go straight to the person. Just FYI 😊
It doesn't take 50%, but yes, a large chunk, and depends on the size of the channel etc. They make it pretty mysterious@@Chich8058
Yes depression is hard to cope with and it’s very hard and sad when our little pawsons cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge so sorry Mira
I hope and pray that this lady can keep her house clean after all your hard work.
Agreed
I hope Mira can get help on a regular basis, having a weekly cleaning person would help her a lot!!!
Hey! You woke that kitchen up from it's nightmarish state! I am so proud of Mira for reaching out and asking for your help. You have really helped transform her life with this loving act of service, Bonnie. Way to go! I feel it's important to talk a bit about how treatment for depression looks differently for everyone as well. Oftentimes, medication is the only pathway to change our brains for the better. We cannot talk ourselves out of depression, but with therapy, counseling, and the right medical treatment, it becomes much more manageable.
True dat. It's a bit like when you have severe backpain and need pain medication first before you can start physical therapy, just so you can move somewhat normally again.
Thank you gor helping Mira! I am so fond of her and love that you collaborated.
I absolutely agree. And my husband would not be here if it weren't for medication. We went through several before we found one that works well for him. So thankful!
I’m so encouraged by your humanity of meeting someone where they are at and helping them without judgement. You’re not afraid to touch someone’s things,pets ( without) gloves is allows them grace in that moment of despair and vulnerability that could cause shame is a thin line that you have prefected beautifully. The transformation is beautiful and amazing a great start to finding her way out of an emotional moment thank you for sharing your talents ❤ and much respect
Agree with you totally. My doctor explained it this way, if you have diabetes or epilepsy for example, you will need to take medication and nobody will think twice about that. And just like diabetes, depression and anxiety are invisible diseases and some people need to take meds for that. There should not be a stigma attached to having depression in this enlightened day and age but sadly there is occasionally. And I can tell you that sometimes, keeping up with cleaning and housework can become overwhelming. There are times when its an effort to get up in the morning and the more you get behind the harder that becomes. I’m lucky enough to have 2 amazing daughters who will jump in to help when I’m not coping. I’ve always found it hard to ask for help and I sympathise with people who feel the same.
So videos like this are encouraging to watch and I’m happy for the homeowner and wish her well for the future.
I have a background in mental Healthcare. I have never heard anyone talk about MH so much in a video, and with such a great insight into. TY so much for sharing and helping instead of judging! What a wonderful person❤❤❤
Oh, thank you. 💕
Your compassion matches your cleaning ability...extraordinary. Well done.
Thank you! 😊
What an incredible transformation! You know that area that was stained with pet urine was confined to the middle of the floor. She could put an area rug under her new table and it would cover it up. No need to apologize for a "sad" video. You were just showing the reality of the situation. So happy for Mira that she reached out for help and that she's making positive changes for herself. Hugs and prayers for both of you on the loss of your fur babies. Prayers for peace and healing.
Thank you so much! I thought about an area rug as well, but I would be a little afraid that he would pee on the rug. I think, now that it's a lot cleaner and easier to clean up messes, she can probably stay on top of it a little better. I hope so!😊❤️
Your advice about helping someone when you're down is absolutely my secret to sanity. And doing good deeds anonymously is literally the best feeling. Today I felt the pull of bah humbug when I saw the bell ringer outside the grocery store. So I did a little good deed, I'll never say what, but it added pep in my step. Thank you again, Fellow Bonnie, for being a good human.
I love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ That's the best to do a good deed without any recognition. It's an instant mood-lifter!!
That was a great success Bonnie! I cheered out loud when you said you were going to be helping Mira. She is a dear and it been great to see her continue to take back her home. It’s always hard to lose our beloved pets. Sorry to you both.
Thanks so much❤️🙏
I am so impressed with Mira. Both for finally finding the strength to go on the journey to a clean and decluttered home, and for putting it all on UA-cam where not everyone will say nice things.
Right?! I'm sure she gets a lot of negative comments and that would make it so hard to keep going, but she's doing amazing!
Your kind, non judgemental approach is amazing. I love these cleaning clips, and it always makes me mad when some jerk says something negative. You do not know of someone elses physical, and/or mental challenges.
Mira is one of my favorites. She’s inspirational. So sad Cupid is gone.
I understand, I am a domestic violence survivor. I suffer from depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and PTSD. Each day is a struggle just to get out of bed. I can say I have a overwhelming clutter. I try to start but I get so overwhelmed.
❤️🙏
Depression is a horrible thing. I’m so happy for Mira allowing you to help her. She’s been working really hard to get her home in order.
You never know what someone is going through in their life - I have found it a blessing to NOT judge others, but rather help them in any way I can. Well done Bonnie, and well done Mira for having the courage to show the process 🥰
Yes, well said!😊❤️
This makes me so happy! I've been watching Mira since she started her channel, and for you to partner with her and help her is just AMAZING! Look at that kitchen now!!!!! I imagine she can feel relief instead of stress now when she walks in there.
Definitely a mood uplifted!
You did a wonderful job!
This was great, I'm sure Mira feels a huge burden lifted. You rock, Bonnie!
Mira must have such a weight lifted off of her shoulders after this kitchen declutter/clean. Amazing job!!
I really admire Mira; she is incredibly brave to ask for help and move forward. It gave me chills seeing the sweet note she wrote herself...and now that dream is becoming a reality. The kitchen was quite a mess but I could also see that she was trying to do too many things as once and became overwhelmed. She deserves a nice clean space to enjoy her life!
I totally agree!🙏❤️
I really admire her too. It takes an incredibly brave person to even recognize they have a problem, and it takes an extraordinary person to take the necessary steps to rectify it - much less so publicly! Many people may not agree simply because they don’t understand, but Mira - you are amazing! Life is hard under the best circumstances, and exponentially harder with physical and emotional challenges that turn your home into a major stressor rather than your safe space. So much respect to Mira for reaching out for help, and to you for helping her in her time of need!
The kitchen looked amazing, you are an Angel for Mira, she sounds like a lovely lady. So sad to hear of her puppy and yours passing, but they not in pain anymore. A wonderful utube. I'm a big fan.. thankyou xx
Thank you so much!
I don’t see this mentioned enough on cleaning channels so I’m just adding it, oven cleaner will kill birds, so please do not use it around birds. I know there aren’t any in this video but it’s important info for birds owners to know and also people who clean ❤️
I believe you are also not supposed to use the self cleaning cycle on an oven with birds in the house. I guess a bird expert could recommend some non-toxic oven cleaning methods.
Thank you for adding this!!!
You're absolutely right. The video I linked in my description where I take apart the oven door to clean it, I used just baking soda, dish soap, and vinegar to clean because the family had a bird, so I couldn't use oven cleaner. I didn't know birds were so sensitive to smell until I cleaned at that house and had to be very careful with the cleaners I used.
I've been so excited for this one. Thank for making it decently long 🥰 and thank you for helping our friend Mira with such non-judgement and kindness. I hope you get to feeling better with your recent illness and I pray that this is an amazing turning point for ms. Mira. You're both lovely.
Thank you!❤️🙏
What’s transformation!
And there’s nothing cheesy about loving a deceased pet. I wish peace for both of you.
Good for her in taking charge of home herself and asking for the help.
One of your best videos yet Bonnie! I hope Mira isn't too overwhelmed but instead is able to enjoy her lovely clean kitchen and other spaces she's been clearing. I can't imagine how scary it must feel to just share your vulnerability with others, she's doing well and the rewards are starting to add up. The loss of a fur baby is always so painful. I look your next video and another video from Mira when she is ready.
Thank you so much! Yes, I was a little worried that losing her dog would set her back on her decluttering journey, but she did just announce that she will have a video out soon since she didn't get one out last week, so it seems like she is doing great pushing forward despite her grieving.
I’m so happy you mentioned Mira‘s laugh! ❤ She is just so authentic and delightful!
LOVE Mira! ❤
I will never understand how people can get so bad, depression or not,
Thank Goodness there are people like you to help.
What an amazing person you are.
Consider yourself fortunate. The important thing is not to judge someone else for what they are going through. You don't understand. That's ok.
Depression makes the smallest decisions or activities unmanageable. If you have not experienced it, it is hard to understand. You become mentally paralyzed.
@@tamick2000 Yes! I don't know what's worse, depression or anxiety with indecision paralysis. It's like a broken record and being imprisoned listening to it. Exhausting.
To those who don’t understand depression, there is also Burnout. I lost the Love of my Life when my 2 daughters were 8 and 11. A serious Congenital illness and working in a job which entailed Community Work, mostly cleaning houses, taking care of People with all sorts of issues and washing dishes for 10 hours straight for my Neighbour’s Catering Business ended up being the set tray that broke the Camels back.
I am in the process of recovery but there are days where I really can only rest. The last 2 days have been that way for me. I’ve had to implement some very strong Boundaries as I must self care, support my daughters and can’t take care of anyone unless I take care of myself.
Animals and Pets are a Godsend as are children. They are just so precious and even though we know it’s inevitable that they are on their own Journey, it’s just so so sad when they leave us. So sorry for the loss of your little Furbabies.
I would just like to say ! Judgement is really not warranted and Pride comes before a fall. Pray you never find the harsh realities never bring you to such a place, because no matter how strong you may think you are, the reality is we never think we would or could succumb to the painful realities of life. I’m a strong strong Human emotionally! However I am human and there are times when life throws me curveballs that are very hard to deal with.
Thankyou Bonnie and Mira. You cheer us on immensely.
Sorry to be harsh. But you clearly didn’t listen very well to Bonnie explain her Husband’s tough role in his line of work. I think I will leave it at that and say a silent prayer for you. Perhaps think before you speak in future. Or phrase things in a more compassionate manner.
You have the kindest soul to reach out and help people. Mira needed your comfort, support and awesome cleaning skills. The kitchen is so nice. Your dedication to your pets that have passed on is not cheesy. It's heartfelt and sweet! x
Thank you so much!😊❤️🙏
Does you know what kind of rags are being used that you can throw away? The ones being used to clean up the dog urine?
@@nikluv21 I just used rags that were given to me by a friend who was just tossing out a bunch of old t-shirts and sheets, so I was using pieces of the sheet at first, but it wasn't very absorbent, so I switched to using an old t-shirt. The t-shirts are cotton which is a very biodegradable fiber, so I feel no guilt about just throwing it away. So, any old socks or shirts can be used to clean up messes that are particularly gross and you just want to throw away the rag and be done with it.
What an amazing transformation! I know Mira is elated! That kitchen was her kryptonite! Way to go ladies! I am so sorry about Mira’s baby. If only they could live as long as their humans do. I lost my senior cat on Friday, I totally understand how she feels. When they are seniors they become such a big part of your routine due to special diets, medications, incontinence etc. I keep finding myself going into the room she spent her last days in to take care of her. I’m also sorry to hear about your Newt. They are our 4 legged children. Enough sad talk now. I can’t wait to see the bathroom transformation. Mira deserves this fresh start for 2024! Thank you for helping her, she’s a great lady who needs to know we are all routing for her!

I’ve been so looking forward to you helping Mira, Bonnie!!
Recycling can be a major stumbling block for many - I have a friend who insists on wrapping individual chocolate papers in aluminium foil and disposing at the bins provided outside grocery stores- they can easily be disposed of in our recycling bins; in Australia our bins are big enough that a man like Mack can fit in them easily and they are emptied fortnightly.
That was an amazing transformation Bonnie - Mira now has just edible food in her cupboards and plenty of room.
I have got a great little system, emphasis on little; I have a small Kenyan basket on the back of my door. All recycled stuff goes in there, and I pop it into the recycling bin by my door as soon as it is full. This is about the most efficient thing around here. Also The Bin, is only a 10 litre.
I have found small is less overwhelming. Sadly, I can not say the same about the staircase full of books, spare room piled with duvets, pillows, and ‘ironing’ (homeless clothes).
Great job. What a wonderful space for Mira to cook and eat in now.
Now I imagined Magic Mack bursting out of a trash can like "tadaah!" Just the thing he would do. 😆
My goodness, what a blessing you are reaching out and helping people like Mira in such a positive and non judgemental way. Thank you for what you do. Wishing Mira happy times in her clear kitchen
Thank you so much!
Our lives all seem so difficult and hard to bear at times. Everyone seems to be taking meds for depression or anxiety. What’s happened to us? Thank you for your encouragement It means a lot ❤
What a beautiful kitchen! Amazing job! I just had to part with my almost 16 year old dog as well a week ago and I am not taking it very well so far. We were nearly inseparable his whole life. Sending peace and comfort over the whole planet right now!
💜 Sending you peace and comfort too - I know what a great loss that is. It can take a lot of time to feel like yourself again.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Any time someone loses a pet I can relate to that pain. When you have such a loving pet who is always by your side it's just the hardest when it's their time to leave.
Doesn't it hurt SO BAD?!! I'm so sorry! It's one of the hardest decisions to make. Sending you lots of love.❤❤❤🙏
Mira has started her way to a "reborn" house all by herself. She did a great job. But you help is definitely a big step forward!!!
I never thought that floor would come so clean. You are truly a blessing in so many lives
Thank you so much!
Not cheesy at all, that’s fabulous y’all’s dogs both had such long lives.I’m sure they were filled with love 💕
You did an awesome job helping Mira. I am so glad she reached out to you and were able to make such a difference quickly. RIP to Cupid
I think Mira is so courageous for asking for help! I love her laugh too. I've been following her for several months now too. Your help will give her a huge boost on her journey to healthier living. Thanks for sharing about depression too. It will help many of your listeners who are struggling.
So happy you make your love to help available. You did such a nice job. So sorry for your loss. So sorry for Mira’s loss
Aw, thank you!😊🙏❤️
I have herniated disks and psoriatic arthritis/spondylitis. I feel grateful that I have the resources to have a housekeeper come very 2 weeks. I’ve thrown my back out (stuck in bed for at least a week) enough times doing housework for one lifetime. It breeds so much fear of hurting yourself again. I completely relate to how much back pain can make keeping up a home extremely difficult.
Oh my goodness, my heart just breaks for her loss! My husbands dog is reaching this plateau in his life and yeah, he isn’t coping well with these thoughts. Having to make this decision for a loved fur baby is never ever easy or without deep sadness and loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to her. Pls stay strong Mira and keep on ur path to a new and better life for urself ❤
This was AMAZING! I know Mira loved her "new" kitchen. I was just tickled knowing that you were going to help her. She is a sweetheart. I hope she is doing ok.
Hope you're getting better as well, Bonnie.
Yes! Thank you! I'm feeling much better and I'm ready to get back to work.
This act of service is such a gift, I hope there are loads of people out here willing to help others just like you are
Thank you. It does seem like more and more people are becoming aware that this is such a needed service and so they tell me in the comments that they have started doing some free cleaning in their area. I love to hear that!
you are probably the kindest person i've ever witnessed. to deal with that ammonia from the dogs is really brutal and you are so upbeat about everything. it's like a miracle to watch. i've been working on boxes of stuff from two storage lockers and going through that and donating and recycling. next is cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. thank you for inspiring me to try tomorrow instead of feeling guilty for not dealing with it. thanks for helping Mira!
Aw, thank you. That sounds rough for you. I hope you have some help. Sometimes that stuff is so hard to tackle on your own. Best of luck!❤️❤️🙏
Mira seems so sweet! Thank you for helping her ❤❤❤
Thank you for helping Mira. I’ve personally found having extensive organization systems is much less necessary when I don’t have too much stuff.
I follow Mira abd VERY proud of her for reaching out. Bonnie I'm VERY proud if you for also talking about mental health and in a supportive judgement free manner and not as if it's a taboo topic like it was in the past. My heart goes out to Mira. ❤ I hope she finds peace and comfort. I want to tell her she has now a motive and purpose with her UA-cam family and has goals she needs to finish and acomplish. I would love for tge two of you to do a Q & A together to talk about the experience anythibg you taught or coached Mira on for her to not regress and what Mira has learned about the process and from you in terms of cleaning. ❤Love and blessings to you both.
I would love to do a Q&A with Mira! If we find time when I go up to clean her bathroom, maybe we will try to do a live together.😊
Sorry for your loss Mira! I’m so glad to see that you’re a dog lover! You’ve made so much progress in your declutter! Congratulations 🎊
I lost my pup of 11 years earlier this year and my cat who was also off 11 years just last week so I am in a similar place and sending love. ❤
So sorry that you and Mira lost your precious fur babies. I know how it feels to loss my babies. 😢 Bonnie, you did such a beautiful job in her kitchen. Maybe she can gift herself new flooring in her kitchen for working hard to get her house in order.
I hope someday she can either replace the flooring or at least get it sanded and repolished because it is a beautiful floor. Thank you for your kind comment!😊❤️
No way I would have cleaned that. I would have been sick and I worked in hospitals. I have had depression for most of my adult life. The holidays are hard for me due to things that happened years ago plus I lost my mother, daddy and step mother during November and December. My depression is bad right now due to my husband's hoarding problems. I just can't live like this anymore. I have always been OCD about having a clean and orderly home. You are amazing to be able to do this. Merry Christmas and hope you feel better soon.
I think dear Mira will find that her beautiful kitchen will become her friend and not her judgmental enemy! Such a wonderful transformation. Hope you feel better very soon!
Wow the stove/oven transformation was incredible. You are so kind and fabulous to have done this for Mira. Keep the love growing!
Thank you so much 🤗
I am so happy that you were able to share your energy and skills with Mira. She has been doing such a good job in her house already and really deserves this help. You are both so great and I have really been looking forward to see this video. Amazing before and after!
Thank you so much!
Wow, I wish I had your energy! Incredible transformation!!! So sorry about the pets, I know how hard it is to loose our four legged babies.
I haven’t viewed you channel before, but have followed Mira’s adventure almost from the beginning. I’m so happy you were able to help, and soooo very proud of Mira for accepting help. That must have been so hard. Well done, both of you!
Thank you so much!!
I know Mira is so grateful
For the love and assistance!
I admire Mira for taking part in the process and exposing herself that takes alot of courage
I have followed her progress
Depression is real, just as much an illness as Cancer. I hope she continues to improve. I lost my only child to depression.
Absolutely agree. I'm so, so sorry about your child. That it's so painful.😔
I love your videos. I really like Mira and her laugh. You are an angel to help people like this and I know Mira appreciates it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You are so kind! Thank you!❤️🙏
I was so looking forward to this one. I have been cheering Mira on with her channel and I'm so happy that you were able to help her like this. The kitchen would have been a mammoth task for her and probably taken her weeks, so it is amazing that she got her kitchen back in just a couple of days. I'm so sorry for her loss. Losing a pet is so incredibly sad. I still miss my dog and he died aged 18 back in 2016. Sending Mira my love and big hugs.
By the way, strong toilet cleaner, limescale remover should shift the last of urine stains which you couldn't remove from the floor. Worth a try anyway.
For the kitchen floor Mira should try Rejuvenate for stone floors. Especially since when the floor is wet the stain seems to disappear, I think this product will make the floor look much better. It has excellent reviews.
I use Rejuvenate on my floors and I love it! I think it would make it look a little better, but honestly I think the best option is to have it sanded and Polished professionally. Then maybe some Rejuvenate to make it even shinier.😊
On Amazon there are several safe, biodegradable tile floor cleaners which claim to remove urine stains
I have never seen such a transformation on a stove. Awesome job.
Mira, I'm so sorry for your loss of Cupid 💔, however I am glad you reached out for help with the house. I know how hard that must have been for you. I also struggle with depression & the past 2 weeks I've been barely functioning. I'm trying to battle my nightmare house on my own at the moment & it's not fun. It seems like one step forward & two back. I have stacking recycle bins in the kitchen & while trying to get other areas in order I've had avalanches, trust me.
I also struggle with lack of confidence in the kitchen. I watch videos, buy the food to try recipes & then the oven & a burner both stopped working.
Bonnie, you've been a huge blessing to Mira. This is a wonderful thing you're doing for people who are struggling. I'm sorry to hear about your Newt. Losses of pets are incredibly difficult.
Bonnie @A Beautiful Mess, God bless you for your compassion, generosity and support for others who cannot do for themselves. You’re a true inspiration. So happy I found your channel. Michale from Moore, Oklahoma. 😊
You're so kind. Thank you!🥰🙏
Bonnie, what an amazing transformation! You give such a beautifully perfect gift: hope. With hope comes peace and then joy. I will pray for Mira and what she is going through. God bless you Bonnie and family!
Hi, ignore the negative comments. I don't enjoy scrubbing. I like to sort (and do) laundry, papers, books, etc. I volunteer at a local museum and public library.
I help people declutter clothes (for a donation to their favorite charity) and craft rooms. You are a saint. Tina, Al's wife
BTW, I'm on lots of psych meds, too. Each day, I make a list of things I can do that day. Just 4 or 5 things. Tina, Al's wife
Sounds fun! I definitely enjoy decluttering and organizing more than the cleaning, but both can be pretty satisfying. Thanks for volunteering. Volunteers make the world go 'round!❤️🙏
I've been depressed to the point of not caring too. When you can't figure out how to get out of bed, you sure don't clean. If someone is depressed, please look for help, it took me over two years before I found a solution. Now I clean my own home.
Yes, I don't think a lot of people realize how easy it can be to get into a situation like this when your mental health is out of whack. I'm glad you found a solution and are able to take care of things again.😊🙏
God bless you and Mira! You are a blessing and an extremely special person!
Thank you so much!
Bonnie, you are an inspiration to all of us.
I know I wouldn't be able to push through covid and perform that miracle you provided to Mira. ❤
I didn't have covid when I was helping her, but I was just getting over a cold. I cleaned her kitchen about 3 weeks ago and now I'm just getting over covid... haha! I think my body is trying to tell me something. I finally took the hint. I need to slow down a little bit. I don't think my slowing down will last long though. I just have a tendency to overdo it.🤷♀️😊
Great job! The before and after shots are truly impressive.
Having a professional come on and do a stone restoration will be far cheaper than replacing the floor.
The transformation in the kitchen is amazing. Depression is absolutely awful and I wish Mira a full recovery. So sorry for her loss too it’s heartbreaking because pets are a huge part of a family. Keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. Well done to you both 👏👏 Looking forward to the next video. Hope you’re better too. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐🌈🦮
Thank you!
What a wonderful job you did for Mira! The kitchen is beautiful and looking forward to seeing the bathroom. So sorry about your fur babies 💔😢. Pets are so hard to lose! 🫶🏼🙏🏻💕
Thank you so much!
The kitchen looks fantastic. Amazing job as usual. 🥰🥰My heart breaks for Mira for the death of Cupid. And for you for Newt too. We don’t have then nearly as long as we would like. They leave their paw prints forever on our hearts. 😔💔🐾💕
Thank you so much.❤️🙏
Your pups are both together, keeping an eye on their mums! You made an amazing difference, and I hope Mira knows she deserves this calm and peace and clean in her life - she deserves this! And you are the wonderful person who helped her towards her goal and helped her on a week when she had a terrible loss. All my love to both of you - losing our little friends is a great hurt.
Thank you so much!❤️🙏
Wow! I’m so proud of Mira for asking for help. I have really enjoyed her purging videos. You and Mira are bringing hope to so many people. I’m so sorry about her fur baby passing. Thank you for helping Mira with so much physical cleaning. You have been blessed with a gift from God.
The kitchen looks amazing. Thank you good and kind lady for helping Mira. I’m so sorry, Mira about Cupid. Hugs to both of these ladies.
I’ve been looking forward to this video! So excited for You and Mira doing the collaboration. I am glad she reached out to you, and I am excited to hear there will be more videos.kudos to everyone that chipped in for the new table. I hope Mira is doing ok. I’m sad for her losing her pup, Cupid. I wish her nothing but happy memories. You’re so right about sadness and helping others; it helps to give back to people when we’re down, it takes our eyes and our mind off our own problems. Bonnie, you did a great job cleaning that kitchen. It all looked great! ❤
Thank you so much!
😮😮😮Your compassion is a wonderful example of Heavenly Fathers wishes for a giving l,servant's heart...
Any tips on getting between glass of oven door?
@@debjarvie-sexton1609 Thank you! As for the oven door, here is a link to a video I did on how to take apart an oven door...if it's the same style oven door, which many are. If not, you may just want to Google your make and model of oven and how to take apart the door. The video also includes cleaning it without harsh chemicals, but you can definitely use oven cleaner if you'd like. This family had a bird so I couldn't use oven cleaner.

Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira! What an awesome job you did on her kitchen!
Thanks so much❤️
That was a wonderful thing for you to clean up her kitchen. I can’t relate to the lady with the messy kitchen. It is hard to explain the overwhelming I sometimes feel when my house is messy. God bless you and the dear lady ❤
@@julieduchek2969 As a retired hospital dietitian I can't relate to a messy kitchen either. But I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and ill and unable to tackle tasks and letting them pile up. Mira probably didn't like her messy kitchen any more than we would.
Already loved Mira's channel and so happy she reached out for help. I'm sure it has been difficult for her to open this way and I'm so glad people are being kind, understanding and encouraging to her. She is giving a gift to others that are afraid to open in this way and it is so beautiful. Thank you for helping her in such a caring way!!
I totally agree! She is incredibly Brave and inspiring.
Sorry to hear about her dog. It’s heartbreaking. You my lady are a machine, and I love your positive words ie stuff under oven is “impressive”
I appreciate that!😊🫶
This was an amazing transformation. My mom dealt with depression and clutter as well . Thank you for your beautiful message❤️
It was great watching how this kitchen got transformed. When she has the new table and chairs it's going to look so lovely. Thank you so much for helping Mira. I'm going to be sure to look up her page.
I'm very interested in how other places do their recycling. I've recycled for many, many years but just a couple of years ago our City Council here in New Zealand gave every household 4 bins: a small food scraps bin, a red-lidded wheelie bin for non-recyclable rubbish, a yellow-lidded wheelie bin for recyclables which is all paper, cardboard, #1, 2, and 5 plastics, and steel and aluminium cans. Then there's a separate blue bin for glass jars and bottles. I know it sounds like a lot of bins but they fit very neatly at the side of our house and they are picked up fortnightly except for the food scraps one which is weekly. It's so incredibly easy to make it work once you get used to it. A lot of people moaned and groaned when it was first rolled out but I think secretly everyone thinks it's great now. We keep a little plastic 2L tub on our counter top to put the peelings etc in and then my hubby puts the contents in the food bin outside. We have a cardboard box that we put all the recyclables in and he takes that out every day or two to the wheelie bin. It's really not a hassle at all to recycle!!
How is it done where you or Mira live in Utah?
I live in Wisconsin in the US. I don't think many places here compost food waste unless you do it yourself in your own backyard. Most places do have paper, metal, glass and plastic recycling. In my city they take plastic, glass, metal and paper. I compost my own food scraps and also have chickens so they get some of them too.Your system sounds pretty nice.
@@BronsteinEmily thank you for replying! A lot of people here compost their food scraps too, but the ones who have them taken away know that they will be composted too, at a big facility. Food scraps rotting in landfills creates a huge amount of methane and the Council is doing everything it can to reduce the amount of waste that goes to a landfill.
It seems like the US government doesn't care much about food waste going into landfills. It's sad. What do grocery stores and restaurants do about food waste in your country? Here so much just gets thrown into landfills. Groceries stores have dumpsters full of food waste still in packaging. I recently started dumpster diving once in a while and get lots of vegetable and fruit waste for my chickens. @@genwhite1175
It's not mandatory here yet, just encouraged, but even then, it seems that a lot of facilities aren't properly recycling things anyway, so it feels like a waste of time to separate everything out unless I can have some assurance that it's actually making a difference. I agree that, if it did become mandatory, of course we would all get used to it eventually, but I do feel bad for people like Mira who struggle anyway even throwing things away. To add those extra steps seems like it would create such a mental challenge for people like her. I don't know what the answer should be though. That's for someone smarter than me to figure out...LOL!
Mira, how incredible that you've set goals, and working tirelessly to achieve them. I'm on the same journey, and it's exciting getting on top of room by room. You're an amazing woman motivating yourself to continue and inspire others while you do.
Bonnie, you are an incredible and insightful soul, it takes a special kind of person to genuinely step up without judgement, and have that desire to help and lift people through their struggles.
This was an amazing transformation ladies, thank you for sharing it with us.
🙏❤️ The video of her scrapbook room will be out in just a couple of hours. Hopefully, you'll check it out. Thanks so much for being here!
This video just popped up after I was watching something else. It wasn’t even cleaning related and I thought oh I hope this is an old video because I’ve been watching Mira and you for months and months and thank goodness it was the original video. I had forgotten how bad that kitchen was. I’ve been enjoying your channel and Mira’s channel. I’m really loving the scrapbook room content since I’m a paper crafter. Keep up the good work, I love your content.
Thank you for sharing what you do. Your positive attitude is inspiring. So many people are struggling with depression and it takes people like you to help draw them out. ❤
Thank you, Bonnie and I hope you feel better soon. Condolences to Mira on her sweet Cupid 💙 What a cutie pie.
I have had cancer for 5 years. Its amazing how illness makes you fall behind at home. I'm in the process of "digging" out of the black cloud.
I'm so sorry. 😞 Cancer sucks! I wish the very best for you. ❤️💜🙏
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Aw, thank you. I'm doing really good. It's been a real process but I'm probably 75% done. Just completed a sewing room and extra bedroom space. My office space and coat closet next.
I’ve been so excited for this video. I knew you could help Mira turn that kitchen around. I imagine she is so pleased about the difference and being able to get into the room and enjoy it again. The bay window where the table sets is perfect for watching Mother Nature as you begin the day. Thank You Bonnie, You’ve Made Life Better for Mira. I hope you continue to feel better and look for ward to seeing the new table and chairs for Mira and your transformative skills put to good use in her bathroom💞
Thank you!🙏
Bonnie, you and Mira sound like old friends.You are both sweethearts! What a wonderful thing you do to help others!
It felt like we were old friends. She's very easy to talk to.🥰
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this one. I love following Mira’s amazing job she’s done and her wonderful personality ❤. It’s more fun when two who have become friends can finally meet and work together. I am so glad that Mira reached out to you and that you could help. Whether it’s needing help with cleaning, organizing, having health challenges or many other issues it’s hard to humble ourselves to ask for help. After becoming disabled 10 years ago, I have had to learn than it’s ok to ask for help. I’ve always been neat, clean and organized but with health challenges there are simply things I can’t do anymore. Mira is so insightful, a wonderful personality and such an inspiration to so many and you do an amazing job Bonnie. I love her kitchen, lots of counter space, cupboards, natural light and lots of room. Such an amazing job and sending hugs to both of you from upstate New York 🤗
Thank you! It was a dream come true to meet her in person and perform this service for her. And, yes, asking for help can be so difficult, or even just accepting help when it is offered. Sometimes I have to remind myself that people really do want to help and we are giving them an opportunity to serve when we reach out for help.
Wow, she must be so thankful of such a great job you have done. Lovely
Hard work but so worth it. Mira deserves it. Great job to both of you. Feels good to see her sorting in the background. Her spirits are high. Thanks to you, your patience, hard work, empathy and caring. 🤟
Yes! Thank you!
